Woody Guthrie, who wrote This Land is Your Land, was heterozygous for Huntington’s disease (Hh). His wife was homozygous recessive and perfectly normal (hh). Huntington’s disease is caused by a latent dominant gene, meaning that it is not phenotypically (physically) expressed until later in life. Dominant disease genes are expressed in homozygous dominant and heterozygous people (HH or Hh). Draw a Punnett square for Woody ad his wife.
